Olympic delivered its most complete weekend of the season, sweeping all four games in Pendleton and defeating Blue Mountain College behind strong pitching, timely hitting, and consistent pressure on the bases. The Rangers controlled the series from the outset and carried their momentum through all four games.
The series opened with a commanding effort from Silas Stenerson, who was excellent in Friday's opener. Stenerson went the distance, allowing just one run on four hits, finishing a complete‑game performance that set the tone for the weekend. Olympic backed him with 11 hits, highlighted by Seamus Brown's two RBI, Ryan Hartnett's run‑scoring hit, and a key power moment from Dominic Kaptur, who launched a home run as the Rangers pulled away late.
Friday's second game showcased Olympic's depth on the mound and speed on the bases. Ethan Staples earned the win with six shutout innings, striking out eight, while Wyatt Robinson closed the game with a three‑inning save, punching out seven. Offensively, Yuji Imai delivered a two‑RBI double, Dante Acacio went 3‑for‑4, and Olympic stole six bases, continuing a trend of forcing defensive pressure throughout the lineup.
Saturday's opener tested the Rangers early, but Olympic responded with balance and patience. Josiah Gooding powered the offense with a three‑RBI home run, while Tegan Jenkins scored twice and Dante Acacio, Dominic Kaptur, and Seamus Brown each drove in runs. On the mound, the Rangers pieced together a steady performance to hold off multiple Blue Mountain rallies and secure another close win.
Olympic completed the sweep in the finale with a tightly contested victory, using timely hits and late‑game execution to pull away. Yuji Imai drove in two runs, Ryan Hartnett, Carson Puryear, Greyson Prichard, and Dante Acacio all added RBI, and the Rangers once again played clean, controlled baseball down the stretch. The pitching staff combined to limit late opportunities and seal the fourth straight win.
The four‑game sweep marks a turning point for the Rangers, reflecting the growth of the pitching staff and a lineup that continues to produce runs in multiple ways. Olympic returns from Pendleton with confidence, momentum, and a clear blueprint for success moving forward.
Olympic now turns its attention to the start of conference play, with the kickoff at Clark on Thursday. The boys then return home to host Clark College this Saturday, March 28, at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds, the new home of Ranger baseball. The doubleheader begins at noon, with game two scheduled to follow at approximately 3 p.m., as the Rangers look to carry their momentum into the Northwest Athletic Conference opening weekend in front of the home crowd.
